Bug Description
drawers version 13.5.1-
Ubuntu 12.04.3
I use a multi-monitor setup with the primary monitor(1600x1200) above the secondary monitor(1600x900) with starters on both monitors.
I expect, that the launcher opens on the same screen on which I clicked the drawers-symbol on the starter.
What I get is the following:
When I click on a drawer at the secondary monitor the utility launcher opens at the primary monitor at the y-position where it would open if I had clicked on the drawer at the primary monitor.
I have tested with the monitor-setting: secondary monitor on the left of the primary.
In that setting the launcher opens at the correct monitor but always at the y-position where it would do that on the primary monitor.
I've observed this because my monitors have a different resolution and I positioned the monitors so that the lower edges are on one line (in the second setting).

Drawers Version: 13.01

I have also had a similar issue because of a multi moniter setup. I stack one moniter on top of another and use the bottem one as "primary" or as the Launch Placement. The top moniter has no unity panel, yet Drawers will open there.
Much like the OP, Drawers opens in the correct spot on the wrong moniter. Admitidly I have an odd setup with 1920x1080(bottom) and 3200x900(top), but clicking on the bottom moniter and having the window opening on the top is a bit jarring. I have checked xrandr and the correct display is set as primary, so I'm gessing it's not Unity having the wrong moniter focus, but knowing Unity it's still possible.
Oh, and I just updated using the ppa, so that didn't fix it either.
